Bingo Lingo

If you've never played bingo before, the lingo of bingo will seem like an entirely different language to you. The words are familiar, but the phrases will sometimes leave you scratching your head as if you were listening to Mandarin. At other times, you can't help but smile the first time you hear a particular phrase because they are just so colorful. Some phrases will have you laughing to yourself.

Most bingo lingo revolves around bingo calls, with evocative phrases and the like used to embellish certain numbers. While bingo lingo is more popular in the UK, some phrases are used in both 90 Ball bingo and 75 Ball bingo.

The list that follows is a comprehensive one, but there are many other nuggets of bingo lingo that are not included here. It's hard to have a definitive list of bingo because new phrases are being invented seemingly every day.

It may seem like a long list to you now, but after a few games, they will be like second nature.
